"I... I don't want to scare you," Zarra looked at the floor. "Things are different now, maybe..." She sighed, "It's just... deliberately lying to the Council, that could be considered something like treason. They could... Oh, they wouldn't. Don't listen to me I'm overreacting. I just can't help worrying. I... Nevermind. Forget everything I said. It's all foolish."

((Ooc No problem as I took over..if thats ok with you ..your shipmisstress can be in charge now )) Katar sat in the back and continued listening to the commanders and the majors worries over the treason..the only thing Katar could do is defend the Commander and encourage him everything is ok as the Arbiter had the final say in matters..surely the Arbiter would go easy on him as the Arbiter too had once been tried for heresey. He opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out. "don't worry about it commander I asure you nothing will happen to you" said Katar. [/quote]

"Oh, I am sorry! I just picked up a frequency from Inwa. She says the humans need support, immediately." Verllan'a said, climbing aboard the Phantom. "We need to re - arm at the Carrier, we shouldn't be too long. I have a few squads waiting there also." "Then it is so... Pilot! "Yes?" "Set course for the Carrier." Rane replied. "Yes, sir."
"Heh, we'll show em' how its done." Rane chuckled.

The Phantom disabled it's gravity lift and returned to the Carrier.
The Phantom arrived at the Hammer's hanger and received a few more Elites. Two Banshees immediately departed and headed for the Humans. A second Phantom had finished attaching two Ghosts and then followed. Anau stood up and addressed the new Elites. "Here's the situation, we will be assisting the Humans. We will be taking full advantage of the sky, two Phantoms and two Banshees. The two Banshees with strafe the field and Phantom number two will then swoop in and drop the two Ghosts for ground support. Our Phantom will drop you with the Humans, there you will stay and help defend. The Banshees will continue to strafe the field while this Phantom and the other will provide additional support, is that understood?" The Elites replied with a nod or 'yes sir'. "Good, before we go into battle, we need to make a quick stop," Anau said, going into the cockpit.
The Phantom departed the hanger and headed towards the human camp. The Phantom dropped to the deck and activated it's grav lift. "Snatch him," Anau said. The Phantom approached the lone ODST and in a swift move, the Phantom gobbled him up using the grav lift and dropped him into the troop bay. "Welcome aboard, human," Anau smiled as the Phantom than continued to the camp.
(OoC: That's Mira, btw. I hope it's not too rushed)

(OoC: Hmm, I thought that was Beth...)
Russell kept fighting, and he became worried. The tribesmen would eventually overrun the UNSC, and even with Elite help, they would be against constant attacks. If he knew anything about guerilla warfare, it's to attack at night. He'd sleep in his MJOLNIR tonight, he thought.
Well, he continued in his mind, if he could get through the night.

(OoC: Mira is the girl that's been lost in the jungle for the last three threads. I think Beth is still with you guys, but I haven't been paying that much attention to the humans.)
"Er, thanks," said Mira, looking a little surprised. "I never thought I would be this glad to be abducted by aliens," she said with a small laugh. "Really. I swear an animal or something was stalking me, and I used up alot of my ammo trying to scare it off."

(OoC: Oh well, the way I see it, is that Beth was wandering towards the camp and then Verves posting stopped, so she would be there by now. Or, she's just standing in the middle of the field about to be strafed by Banshees ) "These guys just keep coming!" Charlie yelled as she continued to fire bursts into approaching natives. "Incoming!" a marine suddenly cried. Charlie looked to the sky and watched as two Banshees swooped down and began tearing up the field. A Phantom then came out of it's camouflage and dropped two Elites and two Ghosts, the Phantom then took to the sky and began circling around the field. To Charlie's surprise, a second Phantom arrived behind them, dropping off two squads of Elites. "I'm going out there, feel free to join me," Anau said, leaping from the Phantom and running towards the human trench.

Zarra followed him immediately. Mira left her empty shotgun and picked out a carbine. "I always thought your weapons seemed cool anyway," she said, as she caught up with Zarra.

The Phantoms gravity lift disabled and followed the Elites until they reached the trench, it then moved above the field. Anau leaned against the trench wall and spoke to a very confused Marine. "I need to speak to the human in charge, where can I find him?" he asked. "I don't know," the Marine replied. "But you know how Spartans are, he's probably in the middle of all that shit," he said, pointing to where the Banshees and Phantoms were concentrating their fire. "Why would it be there?" Anau asked. "He probably isn't, but he's a friggin' Spartan, where else would he be?" the Marine laughed. Anau sighed and turned to the Elites. "Spread out along the wall!" he ordered.
Charlie cheered along with another O.D.S.T. as the Banshees made their job a lot easier. "Never thought I'd be so happy to see a split-lip," the O.D.S.T. laughed. "I hear that," Charlie replied happily, the two then thumping fists.

Russell saw the Phantoms arrive. He yelled to Matt, "Hey, the Elites got here! Finally!"
He then ran off to an Elite. He said, "Hey, thank god you got here. I was beginning to think you'd never get here."
The Elite replied, "Hmmph." Russell then asked, "Hey, where's the Elite in charge of things?"
The Elite replied, "Anau should be somewhere along that wall, I just got there according to his orders."
Russell said a quick thanks as he sped off across the wall to find Anau and guide him to Matt at the front lines.

Katar walked into the gravity lift and then walked onto the battlefield. He walked up to Specs. "demon" said Katar as he stood in the trench next to him. "Councilor I had a feeling you would be here..following my greatness" said Specs. "no Demon I am hear with my people surveying the loyal people that we heard about and that you were in trouble" said Katar. "yeah well" said Specs. "are you in charge of this mission as well I see some of your boys are hear" said Katar as he saw some of the O.D.S.Ts of the 410th Company drinking in the trench. "no the Master Cheif is" said Specs. "ah..why aren't you in the Navy I just noticed that" said Katar. "another time Councilor" said Specs. "ok then Demon" said Katar.

"Commander, look at this," an Elite said, dragging over a captured native. "What is that?" Anau asked. "An abomination of nature," a different Elite said, followed by a few chuckles. "Funny how it looks like a human," noticed another. "Funny how both races are an abomination," the Elite holding the captive said, followed by the large laugh from a group of Elites. "Was it armed?" Anau asked. "With a stick," the Elite replied. "Then it appears we have arrived over armed," Anau said. "Let's make short work of this, and dispose thing," he finished, then walking towards the approaching Spartan. "Yes Commander," the Elite replied, followed by Plasma fire. "Spartan," Anau greeted as Russell approached him. "Are you the human in charge?"

Rane' gazed at the flashing control panel with a puzzled expression. He knew how to fly, but he didn't know how to unlock the weapons system. "Ah... Verllan'a? A little he -" "Can you not see I am busy here!" Verllan'a yelled back at the COM. "Well, I could help you with that if I knew how to arm the Banshee's weapon system!" "Oh. Then, sorry, just press the blue panel, and tap the lock above your head." Verllan'a replied. "Okay, thanks. I'll take him out for you. This will be easy..." Rane' snickered. The blur of purple and blue flew over Verllan'a's head, the next moment, the Native's body burst into colours of red and green. "Rane'! Did you have to use the Fuel Rod!" She screamed. "Ah... sorry about that. I thought it would make it a little more fun... Ahhhh... looks like you'll need to clean your armour!" Rane' forced a laugh, but he knew he was in trouble.

"Hey, the Elites got here, finally!" Russel's cry to Matt was almost drowned out in the roaring voices of the Marines and SPARTANs, Matt included, he were gifted with renewed vigour and struck at the tribesmen again and again in a rearing motion like the head of a snake, each one drawing blood as the tribesmen broke upon them like a wave. Matt grinned, savagely, as he beat down one and pushed it's corpse forwards to block the incoming blade of another, the dead corpse wheeling and making the other tribesmen think it was an enemy, allowing Matt to drop it with a round of spikes from his Spiker. Banshees wheeled overhead, the noise of their engines reminding Matt of the worst days of the war, yet now he watched as the Banshees, allied with them, dropped their rounds of plasma to strike down enemies, burning and beating down flesh in a display of marksmanship that did great credit to the Elites. Worthy allies, the Elites, even if all the humans didn't accept them.
Matt fell back, somewhat, to meet with the Elites, allowing the marines and Orbital Drop Shock Troopers to hold the lines, as he knew they'd be able to, following Russell at a fast jogging pace, reaching him as he spoke to an incoming Elite. Elites streamed by, on either side, to join the fray, as Matt heard the Elite say: "SPARTAN, are you the human in charge?" Matt stepped forwards. "No. I am." With the light of battle behind him and the sun's rays glancing off his MJOLNIR armour, Matt knew he'd cut a fearsome sight. "Master Chief SPARTAN-810, Matt, commander of the Human forces on Emerald Cove." He smiled, beneath his helmet, although the Elite couldn't see it. "Glad to see you've arrived to join the party." Matt outstretched his hand.
And then the world shattered.
There was a shout from a nearby Marine and a shadow loomed over the heads of the marines and, indeed, the tribesmen, as Matt stepped back and craned his head up. A large cruiser loomed above, it's weapons focused down, and Matt knew it was the enemies that had ambushed them, reaching them.
Or was it?
Matt's communication pack on his wrist bleeped, the 'enemy' having gained his frequency. Matt was confused as he pressed the button, however the voice he heard didn't sound alien. "Master Chief, this is Emperor Henno Xiang of the Rifters. We're in the process of clearing out the enemy forces from above Emerald Cove and, in around an hour's time, we should be ready to pick you up." Matt was amazed at the man's confidence, yet who were these people? Rifters? "They're allies!" Matt roared, to dispel the fear of enemy attack. This was soon confirmed as two short yet powerful blasts from the ship ahead beat down, striking amidst the tribesmen and making them scream mournfully. The Marines cheered, and Matt smiled; things were looking up at last.
